Hi,
What I want to do is create an image of my current main harddrive on a new, separate drive. The purpose is so that if the current drive crashes, I can simply plug in the new drive and go as if nothing happened.
I'm well aware that any files, data, blah, blah that happened since the time I made the image will be lost, and that's fine. I just don't want to have to reinstall all of my programs, etc, music licenses, etc, etc.
Is Ghost the tool? I'd heard that it's not as easy as just copying all files from one drive to the next-something about OS files and the sector in which they exist.
Thanks,
--Jim
